WELCOME TO P3 Atlantic HIGHLANDS Photo by Michael Colarusso Discover the charming and upscale historic Victorian town of Atlantic Highlands, a sophisticated and warm community nestled among the hills along the Jersey Shore with spectacular views of New York City and Sandy Hook Bay. Stroll through some of the “old town” section of Atlantic Highlands and see lovingly preserved and restored Victorian homes, some dating back to the 1880s—the golden age of the Jersey Shore. Many are showcases of the era and its architecture. At the hilltop, visit the Strauss Mansion. Built in 1893 and the only Queen Anne Victorian mansion open to the public in Monmouth County, it’s now a museum and headquarters of the Atlantic Highlands Historical Society. Linger over the view from its wide verandas and savor the interior’s rich wood paneling and stained glass windows. Along the way, count the many porches, turrets and towers gracing grand summer “cottages” in Stick, Shingle, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and Carpenter Gothic styles. The Halloween festivities at the Strauss Mansion are not to be missed! 60 www.sparkvisitmonmouth.com
